România postdecembristă, „problema Basarabiei” şi evoluţiile din stânga Nistrului (1990 – martie 1992)
Post-communist Romania, ”the Bessarabian question” and events in Transdniester region (1990 – March 1992)

Summary/Abstract: This analysis proposes a historical interpretation of the ample foreign policy decision-making process in post-December Romania at the highest level, concerning the “Bessarabia matter.” By using, from among methodological instruments, the conceptual patrimony of the subject titled Foreign Policy Analysis, I structured the historical discourse chronologically and thematically. The purpose was to emphasize on the main stages of the positions assumed by the new government in Bucharest toward the evolutions on the left bank of Prut and Dniester, until the outbreak of the armed conflict in Transnistria (2nd of March 1992). Moldova represented a unique case among ex-Soviet republics, because Romanians constituted the majority ethnic group there. The analysis of the Romanian foreign policy considers, first of all, these historical and identity-related particularities. I have also paid due attention to the characteristics of the Romanian-Soviet/Russian relations in the period 1990-1992.
